Many of us will be heading out for a bracing walk as we welcome in 2024 - even if it's just to work off some of those chocolates and mince pies from Christmas.
Here in Sheffield, there's plenty of beautiful places to visit with your friends and family, so why not pull on your wellies, wrap up warm, and head to one of these scenic spots for a lovely January walk…
